This year is a good year for Barren. I have been catching probably 1 short fish for every 5 fish caught. It can depend on what spot you are on though. I fished a spot yesterday and probably caught 30 fish off it and had two keepers. The others spots I am fishing are mostly keepers. I had some friends at Ky Lake this past weekend and were trolling. They were using two counters. One counter was total fish caught and the other was keeper fish. The 279th fish made the 90th keeper.
